The big man has a living father

Chapter 142 (Big Chapter) Rich and Inhumane

After entering the fields in the north, it was now barren and weeds began to grow.

But many people know that it is valuable because crops are no longer grown here.

Cao Xiang suddenly remembered something and rode forward: "Brother Huo, I want to ask you something."

“Where did the original farmers on this land go?”

Cao Xiang was able to figure out that Huo Hai gave money to the farmers when he bought the land.

But where did the farmers go after receiving the money?

Huo Hai: "It's been demolished, look over there."

Huo Hai pointed to the north not far away and said: "All farmers will be relocated and resettled in this area, and each household will be compensated with a standard resettlement house."

When everyone looked over, they realized that many houses had been built in the distance.

The reason why Cao Xiang asked this question was that he wanted to understand the process of these things, because he was about to start building a road on the territory of Pingyang County, and he also wanted to use the model of building and selling houses to collect the money spent on road construction.

Of course, you need to ask clearly about the entire process of this operation.

Seeing the house over there, Cao Xiang became interested: "Shall we go... take a look?"

There is no regular imperial road here, and ordinary people are not allowed to cross it, but ministers can cross it directly.

The entire tour group went directly to the intersection of the resettlement area.

Looking at the ground, Sang Hongyang was surprised: "The resettlement area... is also paved with cement?"

The house hasn't been completed yet, but the road has already been built?
Huo Hai: "Of course, if it is a muddy road, transporting building materials back and forth will damage the road and delay the progress. There are so many workers building houses here, if the construction period is slowed down because of the road, it will not be worth it."

Many people did the math in their minds and quickly came up with the answer.

This is indeed true. Because the workers' wages are very high, if the road is not repaired and the construction period is extended by half a month, the average cost will far exceed the cost of building the road.

Cao Xiang: "That means all houses in the new district on the North Shore will have to have this kind of concrete road built on them?!"

Many people have also realized this.

Because according to the current plan, all the houses in the new district need to be rebuilt.

Currently, the resettlement houses for the relocated households are being built. If roads are built, can the roads in other places be worse than here? They must be better than here!
After hearing this, many people immediately understood the value of the new district.

The convenient transportation is enough to put Chang'an County under pressure!
The transportation in Chang'an County has already surpassed that of Wannian County, and Wannian County is more than one level better than any other place in the Sanfu area except Chang'an City.

After such a comparison, you will have to throw away the goods!

As the horse walked onto the cement road, Huo Hai patted his sleeves and said casually: "We are all respectable people. Who would like to step on muddy water on a rainy day? Gentlemen, right?"

Those who listened realized this immediately.

From now on, when everyone goes to court, everyone else will be clean and tidy, but you will have mud on your feet!
Even if you have to take off your shoes to enter the inner court, everyone can see that your socks are wet, which is too embarrassing.

Even if you don't buy a house here, you should still pave the road near your home yourself.

In fact, the resettlement housing area is quite far from Chidao.

After all, Chidao has such a great location, and housing prices will be very expensive in the future. It is reserved for commercial sites and luxury communities, not for resettlement housing.

Among the ministers, some who could not wait any longer ran off to visit first.

Fortunately, this is the Western Han Dynasty. If it was after the Tang Dynasty, would you still dare to run in front of the emperor? Don't want to live a miserable life!
But it is understandable that they did so. After all, many officials had only been in Chang'an for a year or two and they also needed to be resettled.

Either buy someone else's house or buy a piece of land and build your own house.

Small officials will definitely be chosen in Chang'an County, and high-ranking officials will definitely go to Ling County.

But now, with the option of the new district, things seem different.

Ling County is actually quite far away from Chang'an City.

The farthest distance from Chang'an is thirty kilometers.

Ling County, which is just off the Jianzhang Palace to the west, is the territory of the richest and most established aristocrats. Can it be bought with just a little money?

Although far away places are cheaper, it is too far to go to work in Changan!

Those who live nearby would not leave until dawn if there was a big court meeting.

If you live thirty kilometers away, you don't have to go home from get off work at midnight the day before. Otherwise, you can get ready to go out as soon as you get home and have just finished your meal and haven't even laid down yet.

And what about the new district? It's only a few kilometers away from Chang'an City.

There weren't so many powerful people here in the past because the Wei River was close and there wasn't that much land. The powerful nobles all wanted big yards and big manors, so there wasn't enough land for them to build houses.

Now that the new district has been developed, it is obviously more livable than Ling County, and it is much more convenient for work!

Not to mention that Beichi Road is already convenient, and now with the construction of bridges and roads, it has become even more convenient.

Don't forget that to get to Chang'an from the farthest point of Ling County, you still have to cross the Feng River! Even if the Feng River is not as wide as the Wei River, it means at least two sets of carriages are needed, and you have to wait to cross the river, which is troublesome.

Those who have not yet settled down should be very glad that they have not bought a house yet.

If you buy it, you will lose money.

When the larger group arrived, they saw those who had visited earlier were having a heated discussion.

“This house is much more solid than the old one!”

In fact, the house built by Huo Hai was not built completely according to the style of modern small buildings.

Instead, it uses the style of ancient buildings with brick walls.

There are many opinions about the styles of ancient architecture. Some divide it into eight schools, some divide it into six schools, and some divide it into four schools.

Among them, four more obvious ones are the Beijing School, the Su School, the Anhui School, and the Sichuan School.

All four types are useful with bricks.

There is a saying that goes, a towering building starts from the ground.

In fact, it is wrong, because the style of ancient buildings starts from the top.

After a house is built, if you are strong enough, you can lift the entire house from above.

After the development of commonly used masonry structures, the frame is the frame and the wall is the wall.

There was once a case where after a major earthquake the main structure of the house was intact but the walls collapsed.

The reason why it was built like this is because... it’s high-end enough.

Of course, that's why modern buildings are built that way.

Huo Hai is building like this now because... it’s cheap.

Because repairing a small bungalow requires a lot of steel bars, which are very expensive!

Therefore, the cheapest method is to lay the foundation on the ground, lay drum stones, erect pillars, and then fill the brick walls on the frame.

Of course, this kind of building is built in a relatively simple manner, and the structure on the top is not a complex mortise and tenon structure.

It is just a normal beam and tile roof.

But even though it was such an extremely simple house, these people were very excited to visit it.

Because this is just a resettlement house.

Someone asked, "Master Huo, is this house solid?"

Huo Hai: "What?"

"The workers here, the cement craftsmen, are the ones who built Chang'an Avenue in the early stage. The workers who built the houses were also brought up by the construction supervisors. They have worked on Chang'an Avenue for several months and have rich experience in new-style houses."

"The carpenters are the ones who lead the workers who are building the palace for His Majesty."

"And the designs of the houses here are more reasonable than before."

"Of course it is solid. It is more solid than any other house I have ever built."

"I knew someone would ask this, and I'm prepared. Come on!"

The battering ram was ready.

Right in front of the group of people, several people pushed a cart loaded with wooden stakes and crashed into the wall.

"boom!"

The heavy wall did not move at all.

Huo Hai looked at the person who asked the question: "Our main structure is made of double-layer brick walls, and only the simple partitions are single-layer brick walls. They are as stable as an old dog, okay?"

From the beginning to now, new houses are better than before in all aspects, whether it is safety, material, cleanliness or other aspects.

Huo Hai: "The houses here don't use simple fireplaces, but more complex earthen beds and stoves."

"That fireplace house, is that where people live? We don't even know when they were poisoned to death."

"How can a new house be comfortable to live in?"

"Of course, this is resettlement housing. The residential areas, luxury residential areas, and luxury residential areas that we will develop later will not necessarily all have kangs. Especially in the luxury residential areas and luxury residential areas, they will use floor heating and other heating. The north wind is howling outside the window, but it is spring all year round inside the window!"

Too bad there are no trains now.

If there were trains, Huo Hai would even like to implement floor heating on a full scale.

It is too luxurious to promote floor heating at present, and the cost is too high.

Copper ore is already very expensive to refine, and when you add the shipping costs, the price skyrocketed. The idea of ​​allowing ordinary people to use floor heating radiators is not possible for the time being.

Someone shouted: "Master Huo, you are just talking, we don't know what the luxury residential area will look like in the future!"

"Yup!"

"I can't imagine this just by listening to you!"

Huo Hai: "Really? Do you think there are only resettlement houses in the resettlement area?"

"The resettlement area also has ordinary and luxury communities, because some of the resettled villagers in the north bank are relatively wealthy and are willing to spend money to live in better houses and give me compensation, so ordinary and luxury communities were also built."

"The houses in the resettlement area are close to each other, and there is no front and back yard close together."

"In ordinary residential areas, each house has its own front and back yards, adjacent to the neighbors on the left and right."

"A luxury residential area, where you can choose the area you want to live in. Of course, the price..."

“In addition to luxury residential areas, there are also luxury homes.”

"There are also wealthy people in the North Bank demolition area. Lord Shi Qingshi is my colleague, and his land will also be demolished."

Everyone turned to look at Shi Qing.

Shi Qing laughed awkwardly.

He didn't want to see any of Huo Hai's tricks at all.

Huo Hai: "But the Shi family didn't sell the land to me, they just exchanged the land."

"But I still built a mansion for the Shi family. If the Shi family wants it, I will pay for it."

"The price of a luxury house is one million yuan for ten acres. This luxury house covers a total of thirty acres, which is three million yuan. But because it is demolished, if the Shi family wants it, they only need to compensate me with 1.8 million yuan for the cost price."

“I don’t make any money from the houses in the demolition area, and I don’t let the workers make any money either. The workers’ salaries are all subsidized by me.”

Someone jumped up and said, "Ah? Are you kidding me? How much?! Three million dollars? Thirty acres?!!!"

You have to know that outside of Chang'an, in remote areas, one acre of land currently costs two hundred coins, and thirty acres costs only six thousand coins, or six strings of coins.

Even in the Sanfu area, an acre of land currently costs only ten thousand dollars on the market.

Yangling is a mausoleum county gathering area above the tomb of Liu Che's father. Last year, one acre of land was only 1,300 coins!
Three million dollars? It's enough to buy him three thousand acres of land in Yangling.

A hundred times the price!

Isn't this robbery?
Many people suddenly lost interest in luxury homes.

Is thirty acres of land a big area? Is it really that big?
The up-and-coming families of the Huo and Wei families have territories in Ling County that don’t even have outer walls, and their fields stretch as far as the eye can see.

Not to mention the descendants of Cao Xiang, Xiao Guang, Xiao He, Cao Shen and other founding heroes.

Huo Hai: "Oh? To be honest, for houses in luxury residential areas, you have to pay first and then get the house."

"It's first come, first served. Those who come late may have to wait for more than a year or even longer to get a house."

Some people are looking down on it, but some have already raised their hands.

Liu Sheng raised his hand: "I want a set."

When Huo Hai saw someone paying, he immediately laughed and said, "Your Highness, King Zhongshan, for a big family like the Shi family, thirty acres of land is enough, but you are a member of the royal family, so you need at least a hundred acres to match your status."

The reason why Liu Sheng raised his hand was to support his business partner.

One mu is 100,000, right? How much is one hundred mu? Ten million yuan.

It's difficult for others, but for him, not so much.

Moreover, the most crucial reason is that after Liu Sheng pulled Xiao Guang to be his prime minister, he began to let Xiao Guang formulate development plans.

The first thing Xiao Guang did was to investigate Hou Huohai’s various industries.

Others don’t know what the mansion looks like inside, but Xiao Guang had already told Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng knew that these hundred acres would be worth more than tens of millions in the future!
"Ten million yuan, I've decided, will you just take all the money?"

Huo Hai laughed: "The down payment is 30%, and the balance will be paid when the house is delivered."

Many people were shocked.

Because many noble families have a total asset of only 10 million. Buying 100 acres of land with 10 million? Isn't this a waste of money?

Liu Che laughed out loud: "King of Zhongshan, you really know how to enjoy yourself."

"The interior of this mansion is better than the imperial palace. You've caught up with it."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Although Liu Che was Huo Hai's partner, to be more precise he was the investor and major shareholder.

But who was Liu Che? He never cared to brag.

If Liu Che said it was better than the Imperial Palace, then it really was better than the Imperial Palace.

Liu Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I dare not overstep my authority!"

Liu Che: "Okay, okay, the standards of the new mansion have all been approved by me. In the future, all my palaces will also be upgraded. I will build a new palace within the Shanglin Garden, which will naturally be of higher standards than the royal mansion."

Now that the new city has been built, Shanglinyuan has retreated twenty kilometers to the east, so building a new palace is not very practical.

However, as Liu Che was the emperor with the most palaces in history, building palaces was like a game to him. He decided to build this palace purely to advertise his new luxury house.

Besides, how can we not spend the money earned from renovating the mansion?
After Liu Sheng interrupted, some people became even more curious. Liu Sheng was not a fool. What did it mean that he spent so much money to buy this house?
Does this mean this mansion is worth it?

Cao Xiang: "Don't just talk, let's go and see!"

Huo Hai smiled. This house was renovated overtime and was to be used as a model house, so of course he had to show it to you.

Soon, everyone saw it.

Because this is a new luxury house, the exterior wall style is the same as the current Hanque style.

Although it is a downgrade compared to the Imperial Palace, it is newer and the materials seem to be different.

At the door, there is a pair of white marble lions.

Behind the lion is the foyer.

This is a tall gate in a large courtyard. The side door is flat, but the threshold of the main door is very high, and a short woman may not be able to step over it directly.

Forget about the kids.

At this time, the servants in the yard carried the wooden steps and placed them in front of the threshold.

Huo Hai: "This kind of courtyard has a high threshold. If you have no official title, no money, and are a commoner, you can't get in."

The style of high threshold is still known to everyone.

But after entering the door, everyone was stunned.

At the door, there is a screen wall.

The screen wall blocks the door, preventing people from seeing what’s going on inside the house.

This is quite different from everyone's home nowadays.

And on the screen wall are the porcelains that have been selling like hot cakes and out of stock in Chang'an in the past month!
Small squares of tiles were inlaid on the wall, eventually forming a picture.

Between the two cranes, there is a huge text inlaid.

Huo Hai: "The patterns on this screen wall are all professionally customized. This set of porcelain tiles alone is of the same quality as top-grade porcelain, and everyone knows the price."

This calculation is indeed amazing. This wall of tiles has more tiles than a set of top-grade porcelain. Doesn't that mean it's worth less than 100,000? No wonder this house costs 3 million.

When the people who calculated the cost of the house did the math, they suddenly felt that the house was worth that much money. When the people who calculated the cost price, such as Xiao Guang, did the math, they suddenly realized: This is how you can make money.

A screen wall worth one hundred thousand? The cost should be two hundred at most, no more.

But only Huo Hai has this top-level porcelain technology, and what he says is true.

Huo Hai: "If it's General Wei's family, it must be a fierce tiger swallowing..."

Wei Qing already knew what Huo Hai was going to say, so he stepped forward and covered Huo Hai's mouth: "What are you swallowing? Of course it's a pair of Fu Hu."

Huo Hai: "Write a big "Wu" in the middle. If "Wu" isn't nice enough, then write a big "Shuai"!"

Liu Sheng was curious: "What pattern should I customize?"

Huo Hai: "Customize a dragon and write the word king."

Liu Sheng stroked his beard with satisfaction: "It's quite interesting, but I wonder if the dragon is as lifelike as this crane."

To be honest, the impact of this porcelain screen wall on them was quite strong.

The reason why no one was embarrassed was simply because they were being too pretentious.

Who has ever seen a crane on a wall before?!
If you don't see the gaps between the porcelain tiles, this crane looks like a real crane, and it's colorful!
Who has seen this?
If it were a dragon or a tiger, people who were not of high enough standard would probably be shocked just by entering the door.

Let alone peeping into the inner courtyard.

But Huo Hai didn't plan to say much about such an amazing thing, and walked straight in: "The roads in the entire yard are paved with this kind of polished stone slabs."

“It’s a different world after you come in.”

In this day and age, front yards are used for parking.

But when they entered the yard, they found that there was a special carport. As for horses, it was of course impossible to keep them in the front yard, as that would be unsightly.

Entering the front yard, you will see a variety of flowers and plants in the garden.

There's even a running pond and waterways that simulate a creek.

There’s even a small covered bridge over the waterway!
This feeling is something I have never had before. After entering a building, I actually felt nature!
I feel relaxed and refreshed!
"A different world is here. Is this the idiom 'A different world is here?'" Of course, Liu Sheng also often read the idiom collection.

At this time, Liu Sheng had already begun to look forward to his own yard.

Wei Qing: "I want to order one set, eighty acres."

Huo Hai: "If uncle wants it, I'll give you 20% off."

Wei Qing smiled and shook his head: "Forget the discount, just spend more time on the design. I want a place to practice martial arts."

Huo Hai: "No problem, all luxury houses can be customized, and you will definitely be satisfied!!"

As everyone walked forward, someone asked: "Hey, why are the windows in the main building hollowed out? Won't it leak air?"

Many people have looked over.

“Hey, isn’t this the main building, but a pavilion?”

“But if it’s a gazebo, wouldn’t that be too many walls?”

The building in front of us is a standard Hanque building.

Divided into two layers.

Judging from the material, the walls are extremely flat, even smoother than the imperial palace.

Looking at the roof from the second floor upwards, the structure is made of wood, with carved beams and painted rafters, and the corridor leading to the high platform on the outer wall and the road leading to the pavilion are all in perfect condition.

They are exactly the same as the popular buildings nowadays.

The only difference is, why are the windows empty, with only frames?

Isn't this cold?

This window is empty and you can see what's inside.

Huo Hai smiled but said nothing.

After taking two more steps, Liu Sheng said, "Hey, this is not empty, there is something on the window!"

Xiao Guang exclaimed: "Crystal?! Glass?!"

Of course, the window is made of glass!

The glass is huge and very flat!
A large number of glass windows are used in the front of the main building, making the house bright at this time.

If everyone could hold back on all the previous things, someone would have already exclaimed at this moment: "Ah?! So many crystals? This must be so luxurious!"

"Overstepping your authority, overstepping your authority!"

"Your Majesty, you only have a set of crystal wine glasses, right? Even the water glasses are not crystal, and this house uses crystal windows?!"

"Sigh~"

Although everyone usually oversteps their boundaries to some extent.

But is it too much to overstep your bounds?!
Huo Hai: “That’s glass.”

Glass has existed since ancient times, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

However, that was an accidental product of firing other things, and no one has ever mastered the true method of firing glass.

Even modern people can hardly understand it.

Many people still think that the crystal clear small grains in the sand are the fired glass, and some people even make short videos trying to fire glass with sand.

In fact, glass is made of quartz stone, but the quartz stone is first ground into powder and then fired.

After pure glass is fired, it is indistinguishable from crystal.

Using glass to make windows is like using gold to make a door. It is too luxurious and it simply puts luxury and extravagance in front of the people of the world.

Huo Hai raised the corners of his mouth. "These are not crystals, but Huo's latest research product. They are glass, or to be more precise, exquisite glass."

“With glass, we can block the wind and the cold, but we can also let the sun in.”

"Everyone, come in and take a look."

Who has ever seen such a bright house?
Even the imperial palace isn’t this bright!
Even in the renovated Prince's Palace, the most they could do was open the main door to allow ventilation and light in, but the heating system had to be overloaded and powerful to keep warm.

In the past, light and warmth were in conflict and unavailable in winter!

And now, it has come true.

This is called a luxury house!
Was that dark house used to be where people lived?

It looks very impressive, only those who have lived there know.

Liu Sheng was excited: "Great! I can't stand the oil lamp any more!"

Although there is now technology to recycle oil lamp smoke, the smoke is directed into the water stored in the crane-shaped lamp.

But no matter how much smoke is recycled, it is inevitable that there will be a strong smell.

Also, the bigger the house, the more lights you can light.

Even the main hall that is to be used must have a row of oil lamps lit.

Anyone who has used it knows how inconvenient that is.

Now, here comes the solution.

When Liu Sheng saw this wooden house, it was like seeing his future home and he finally felt comfortable.

When they reached the door, the person at the front of the line did not go in, but just kept saying, "This..."

The people behind him were anxious: "Hey, don't block the road!"

The people at the front were shocked: "Is this on the ground?!"

Huo Hai: "Of course it's porcelain, or tiles to be more precise."

Tiling is not a very difficult technology. There were no real glazed tiles in the Han Dynasty, but they did exist in the following dynasties.

Especially in places where slippers are required, wooden floors and tiles are preferred floor materials.

After all, there is no dust and dirt.

However, because Chang'an was in the north and ceramic tiles were not popular, ceramic tile technology was not developed during the Han Dynasty.

Huo Hai's tiles are made using modern technology. When laid on the ground, it looks like slabs of jade carved with different colors are laid on the ground.

This kind of shock is more shocking than using crystal windows.

"This~"

"Trent is inhumane!"

Huo Hai: "Come in and feel it for yourself."

The floor heating effect of tiles is much better than that of wooden boards!
People who enter feel like spring has suddenly arrived.

Although it is already February and spring has arrived, the late spring cold is still very cold.

How comfortable is this room? It's like stepping directly into the spring.

Some people, who are older, already feel uncomfortable in the winter, and once they take this step, they can immediately relax physically and mentally.

This feeling is called home!

Bright, spacious and warm.

It is warm but not as hot and dry as sitting over a fire.

Like a spring breeze.

This floor is so comfortable that you want to lie on it!
When someone thought this, someone had already laid down.

"Hey! I want to lie down!"

The one lying on the ground was so happy that he rolled his eyes: "This is so comfortable!"

"Sigh~"

"Are you comfortable?" Huo Hai: "This is the most solemn Hall No. 1 for receiving guests. It is already the most uncomfortable place in this house. After all, solemnity is the most important thing."

As a group of people followed and walked towards Hall No. 2, the people in the rear team who had just entered the room began to be surprised: "Hiss! Is this wall with words written on it porcelain? These cranes look like real ones. I thought I had a pair of real ones, but when I got closer, I realized they were paintings!"

The person in the middle: "Hiss! So arrogant? Crystal windows?"

"Ah? The jade-carved ground?!"

Entering Hall 2, Huo Hai introduced: "The floor here is not as bright as Hall 1, but it is easy to clean and non-slip."

"Suitable for all the old gentlemen."

The floor of Hall 2 is non-reflective and has dark-colored tiles, so the light is much softer.

There were several sofas in the living room, and tea cups on the coffee table.

Many ministers have seen this sofa, after all, Emperor Liu Che has one.

When the court meeting was in progress, Liu Che was lying on the sofa.

It's here, why not give it a try?
As soon as I sat down, my whole body was wrapped up.

This feeling!
No wonder His Majesty sits here every day, what a pleasure!
I used to feel uncomfortable kneeling, but after changing to sitting, it was so comfortable that I could fly. There are actually experts here?!

The person lying down instantly didn’t want to get up: “Ah~oh~”

The person behind: "Hey, why are you making such obscene noises? Sit down for a while, let me try!"

Cao Xiang: "I want to order a set of 80 acres!"

The king has a hundred acres, the general has eighty acres, so it’s not too much for my Cao family to have a total of eighty acres, right?
"I want one too!" Liu Guang: "I want one with 60 acres!"

At this time, Prince Lu Liu Guang in the crowd raised his eyebrows. He, Pinggao Hou Liu Guang, owned 60 acres of land. Wouldn't it be reasonable for me, Prince Lu Liu Guang, to own 120 acres of land?

King Liu Guang of Lu shouted, "I want one hundred and twenty acres!"

Everyone turned around to look, and someone whispered, "Your Highness Prince Lu, why are you here? Your Highness Prince Zhongshan only reserved 100 acres before."

When Prince Liu Guang of Lu heard this, he said, "Then I want a 100-acre plot, as big as the one at my uncle's house!"

Liu Guang, the Prince of Lu, was the son of the Prince of Lu who was dug up by Kong Anguo. He succeeded to the throne after the old Prince of Lu died.

When Huo Hai heard people say that he was the King of Lu, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is another rich guy!
When King Liu Guang of Lu lived in his fiefdom, many people knew that he liked music, carriages, lived a luxurious life, and loved making money.

He is still young now, but in history, this guy became Grandet in his old age, who loved making money but was stingy.

But the current King of Lu is very generous.

The King of Lu loved all kinds of carriages, so his servants immediately sent new carriages to Lu after getting them in Chang'an.

Because this guy lives far away, he only got the new carriage more than a month ago.

When he got the new carriage, he learned that there was a new road in Chang'an.

This new road looked like it was carved out of stones several dozen meters in size and then laid on the ground. It was flawless and could be driven on without any ruts. With the help of new horse-drawn carriages, the driving speed was very fast.

Prince Liu Guang of Lu immediately realized that things had changed in the transportation industry.

Chang'an's economy is about to develop greatly.

He immediately went to inquire about the changes in Chang'an.

The more news he heard, the more he couldn't help wanting to go to Chang'an.

You know, many of the dukes, ministers, and princes of the Han Dynasty actually lived in Chang'an, and going to their fiefdoms was more like a demotion.

Only the king lived in the fiefdom.

But King Lu Liu Guang did not live in his fiefdom before he succeeded to the throne. He lived in Chang'an for a long time.

In addition, since his family was favored, Liu Guang hurried to Chang'an to meet Emperor Wu of Han.

After Liu Che agreed, this guy traveled day and night to Chang'an.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an today, he was stunned.

He watched the Wei River disappear!
Only when such a miraculous thing happened before his eyes did he realize how much Chang'an had changed.

So I wanted to meet him immediately.

But when he learned that Liu Che was inspecting the new city, he hurried over.

The ministers outside the door were still queuing up, but Prince Liu Guang of Lu didn't care. He opened the doors one by one and squeezed in. Seeing the luxury and comfort of the house, he asked, "How much is it? Only 100,000 per acre? Let's take 120 acres first!"

As expected of the King of Lu, he is wealthy and powerful.

Liu Che turned around and saw his nephew, smiled, and thought that someone else had come with money to develop Chang'an.

Since Emperor Wu of Han issued the Enfeoffment Order, many vassal states have been divided.

However, how to get the money to close the country remains a difficult problem.

Now there is a solution.

Attract them to Chang'an to do business.

There are two reasons why this couldn't be done before.

The first is that the Qin Dynasty collapsed due to the county system.

The control was not enough to fully implement the county system, so the feudal system and the county system coexisted for the sake of the Han Dynasty's rule.

Second, the royal family in Chang'an would threaten the throne.

But, this is not a problem now.

After discussing the three types of firearms with Huo Hai today, Liu Che had already rehearsed them in his mind. Liu Che discovered that the local army and the firearms army he was about to establish were not at the same level at all.

As long as they control the army, other royal family members will pose no threat to the royal family.

Huo Hai never told Liu Che that firearms would change the class structure, bringing commoners closer to imperial power and nobles further away from commoners.

But who is Liu Che? I have already thought of it.

Next, the entire visit was filled with shocked voices.

"Hiss~ This pipe is made of copper? Ah? Can it release water? Ah? Hot water?!!!"

"Huh? A toilet made of porcelain? Just flush it?"

"What? You said this is the servants' room? Can I move in?"

"The rich are inhumane! The rich are inhumane!"

"What a hard life I've had before!"
